Default Alternative colour...

Looking for some inspiration on the net now that the bike season is over, when i stumbled over a couple of pictures with repainted cbr's.
Here are a couple i think are not so tasteful painted,have you seen one nicer/cooler/tasteful or tasteless painted cbr ?.......post it !

Those pictures remind me of an old saying: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My dad was colorblind. He could only see gray scale. Every car that my parents owned was either battleship gray or my dad would paint it gray, upsetting my mom. I grew up watching a 13” B&W TV. Those bikes would look fine on that TV form our usual 15 foot viewing distance.

Do they sell skittles or starburst candies in Sweden? because in the U.S. having a rainbow of colors on your bike have a totally different connotation "Not that there is anything wrong with that!" [8D]

I'm having the same challenge. I think I've decided on an Indigo Blue, all over. Seeing that black one, above, confirms my choice for me. Mine is an '87 in grey/blue and has a blue seat so I don't want to go to an actual black.

That is a very nice colour...would have bought one if they where sold here. Have only seen one in my whole life here in sweden (summer 2007), it was probably imported.
